Hello, 2 years late, I am a structural engineer and I work for a Glulam manufacturer! Glulam is pound for pound stronger than steel. The beams/columns do not burn easily; in fires, the outside of the glulam will create a sort of protective char and the inside will stay relatively protected. Thus large members may continue to support a load in a fire long after an uninsulated steel member has collapsed
Very cool wonder how gluelame compares to steel for fire ,load etc
Jon, thanks for your question. We will gather specs and place a link below. Thanks.
